Too Sad To Reflect

I walk by the shore With my heart in my hand Trying to find myself As I kick at the sand. Why am I so lost? Now you have gone We were so young Now I am alone I look in the rock pool For the reflections that I see I am sure I can see you Standing behind me I reflect all the good times We were both young at heart So many promises We made at the start When we were at college We met in the breaks Rush home to see you again Hoping you’ll wait. I reflect on the sad times When cancer was found You left me alone Ian I left you in the ground. I look into the mirror Hoping your there Standing behind me Stroking my hair My eyes don’t reflect They have died inside No hope shows in them From the day that you died.

(cont) .. my understanding is only a possibility of something I don't want to reflect on. I can only listen and look and marvel, because surely you at your weakest are a very strong person. Time, even if, it doesn't cure all, it treats all, in my experience of loss anyway. Thank you for sharing and I hope putting it in words helps somehow. I think it helps me, because I truly become one with the problem or experience. Ok too much already, sorry for long comment, probably doubly inappropriate.

I don't even feel appropriate commenting. I listen to My Immortal by Evanescence and reflect too. This is a time when I say I don't want to even imagine what you may have felt, may feel, because truly, it's too sad. There are sayings like, "it's always calm, before the storm," and "it's always darkest before the light." If theres no more light then it will just get darker and darker, if there's no polar opposite, no storm, and it will never be calm. However, since I can't even imagine this..
